I'm an newbie. With lots of help and luck I've got a new partition and
Mandrake 5.3 installed. I have very little knowledge of Linux. I was told my
ESS 1869 sound wouldn't work but it's fine set up as ESS1868 or Soundblaster
Pro. I'm hoping to have similar luck with my printer and modem. Does anyone
know if I can run my Compaq IJ900 printer or Rockwell HCF Data Fax PCI modem
from Linux. I was hoping to break away from Win98 over time but if I can't use
my hardware I'll be stuck for a while.<br>Thanx.<br>James<br>

Not sure if your printer is a winprinter, but more than likely that PCI modem
is a winmodem, and thus will NOT work under linux. I suggest a good external
modem. It'll even run better under windows that your PCI does.
